Here I am in Glorious Greece with my knitting needles in hand - working on an
Irish hiking scarf. My husband and I spent 10 beautiful days sight seeing and swimming in the Corianthian Gulf with my sister and brother-in-law. This picture was taken at the entrance to Ancient Corinth where the two books of the NT were addressed to. Sadly, the gates were closed and all we could do was peek in to see what's left of the city. The sight around the city from the mountain was truly glorious.
Confession - I wasn't really knitting. This was a set up. I did knit on this trip though. Started this scarf on the plane (yes, I did knit on the plane with no problems) and also made two toques. I took a break on the flight home and am now anxious to get back to knitting once I'm completely unpacked. I did manage to find a knitting store in a small town in Corinth called Kiato. I bought 5 balls of a multi colour wool blend for 10 Euros - about $15 Canadian.
The trip was magic!
Here is my daughter "modelling" the blanket she made for baby Orlaith
who is due to arrive in October. She made it out of Red Heart yearn which gives it good body. She used two colours together and did the blanket stich all around the blanket and hood to bring out the dominant colour. This is the same Lion Brand pattern that I made (see previous post). I used "Pound of Love" and both work well for this pattern. Yeah, Irene - keep working those needles!
